Have you removed the cover to check magnets ? Min looked like this when I had same problem

Closer look

I cleaned them out with a flat screw driver and applied some silicon on them until the new ones came! Mine lasted less than a year. Now I placed some nail polish on new ones and till now no problems

Sorry didn't notice you dive a Meg could you have same

Hey Explorer,

Remove the button guard and take a look on the springs, I just had to replace it.
Cheers,

If you rotate the button it should stop it sticking, or you could undo the top screws and remove the button clean them off and silicone them.

LOL... I'm guessing you've gotten a lot of ribbing about that funky meg handset... so I won't

I will say kudos to you for trying to help.

I have seen a older style Meg button rust and become sticky as well as other buttons on other bits of kit. Take the guard off and have a look at the springs and the buttons. If one is rusty then Leon will replace it no problems. My guess is that a bit of crud is in there somewhere
